A 50m steel tape is used to measure the distance of the line and found to be 842.25m. During measurement, the tape is supported at the ends and midpoint under a pull of 8 kg and the observed mean temperature is 28 °C. The tape is of standard length at 22 °C and a tension of 12 kg. The cross section area of the tape is 0.032cm?. The coefficient of the thermal expansion is 0.0000116/°C and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0x10 kg/cm2 the tape weighs 1.1kg. Determine the correct length of the tape. Rules: 1. For significant figures and rounding off numbers, provide only the numerical value for the answer. 2. For all the computed values with decimals, use four (4) digits after the decimal.

Question
A 50m steel tape is used to measure the distance of the line and found to be 842.25m. During
measurement, the tape is supported at the ends and midpoint under a pull of 8 kg and the observed
mean temperature is 28 °C. The tape is of standard length at 22 °C and a tension of 12 kg. The cross
section area of the tape is 0.032cm2. The coefficient of the thermal expansion is 0.0000116/°C
and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0x10 kg/cm2 the tape weighs 1.1kg. Determine the
correct length of the tape.
Rules:
1. For significant figures and rounding off numbers, provide only the numerical value for the
answer.
2. For all the computed values with decimals, use four (4) digits after the decimal.
